The book Invalid Format: An Anthology of Triple Canopy, Volume 1 is an archive of Triple Canopy's widespread publishing activities and a translation into print of projects that originally appeared in other forms. It is designed in collaboration with the New York City based design studio Project Projects. The inaugural volume of Invalid Format includes artist projects and literary work published in the first year of Triple Canopy's existence, documentation of public programs, and a sampling of foundational correspondence. In form and content, the book explores how works produced for the screen might fully inhabit the page. Consider Invalid Format a new design for reading, the book as content-management system.
Contributors for Volume 1 include Lene Berg, Keren Cytter, Rivka Galchen, Sheila Heti, Adam Helms, the International Necronautical Society, Craig Kalpakjian, Jon Kessler, Wayne Koestenbaum, Rachel Mason, Amir Mogharabi, Ed Park & Rachel Aviv, Emily Richardson & Iain Sinclair, Michael Robinson, and Diane Williams.
Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities based in New York, Los Angeles, and Berlin. Working collaboratively with writers, artists, and researchers, Triple Canopy facilitates projects that engage the Internet's specific characteristics as a public forum and as a medium, one with its own evolving practices of reading and viewing, economies of attention, and modes of interaction. In doing so, Triple Canopy is charting an expanded field of publication, drawing on the history of print culture while acting as a hub for the exploration of emerging forms and the public spaces constituted around them.
